"If we truly care about safety and welfare, we must look beyond the things we buy—better helmets, safety vests, and breakaway cups—and ask tougher questions about long-term preparation, accountability, and education," columnist Armand Leone writes.

He warns that when riders and horses move up the levels faster than their skills and foundations justify, the sport creates hidden safety risks and erodes horsemanship.

"In our sport, one of the worst things that can happen to a horse is for it to be ridden by an inexperienced rider at a height the rider is not ready for. That’s a big welfare issue,” Leopoldo Palacios tells WoSJ. “FEI should have an international qualifying system for riders, so that they need to compete at every different height to move up in the classes. Riders should also hold a license in order to be able to compete. If you look at other sports, many of them operate with a license, and I think we should as well.”

Known for his demanding course designs, the 78-year-old Venezuelan is one of eleven FEI Honorary Vice-Presidents, and has held several important positions within the FEI throughout the years. Between 1987 and 2006, Palacios was a member of the FEI Childrens Committee, the FEI Jumping Committee as well as a member of the FEI bureau, and in 1998 he joined the FEI Executive Committee.
